− Only authorized individuals are allowed to operate the Revolution Wireless. Individuals
are authorized after receiving training in the operation of the unit and reading this
operating on manual.
− The long-term eects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
− TENS is not eective for pain of central origin (including headache).
− TENS waveforms have no curative value.
− TENS is a symptomatic treatment, and as such, suppresses the sensation of pain which
would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
− Before using the therapy unit, the operator must ascertain that it is in correct working
order and operating condition. The cables and connectors, in particular, must be checked
for signs of damage. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately, before use.
− Stop therapy immediately if you have doubts about the device settings and/or the
therapy protocol.
− Patients must be fully conscious while being instructed in the use of the therapy unit and
during therapy.
− Do not treat through clothing.
− Stop treatment immediately if patient experiences discomfort or pain.
− The choice of the therapy parameters to program, of the therapy protocols and electrode
placement is restricted to the responsible physician or therapist. It is the physician’s or
therapist’s decision whether or not to use the unit on a specific patient.
− The patient must be familiar with the functions of the Revolution Wireless remote
control with the modules and the remote control must be within easy reach of the
patient, allowing them to stop therapy, if needed. Patients unable to operate the
emergency stop function (either by stopping on the remote control or by turning o the
modules), e.g. paralytic patients, must never be left unattended during therapy.

established.
4. under 16 years of age
− Never apply the electrodes as follows:
• Stimulation should not be applied transcerebrally, or on the eyes.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the anterior neck or mouth. Severe spasm of the
laryngeal and pharyngeal muscles may occur and the contractions may be strong enough
to close the airway or cause difficult in breathing.
• Counter-laterally, i.e. do not use two poles connected to the same channel on
opposite sides of the body.
• Stimulation should not be applied over swollen, infected, or inflamed areas or skin
eruptions, e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.
• Stimulation should not be applied transthoracically in that the introduction of electrical
current into the heart may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerve particularly in patients
with a known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
• Stimulation should not be applied over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• If the person is pregnant or menstruating do not place electrodes directly on the uterus
area or connect pairs of electrodes on either side of the abdomen to avoid any risk for
the mother and/or the baby.
• Keep electrodes separated during treatment. Electrodes in contact with each other could

− Electromagnetic radiation. Do not use the stimulator in areas in which unprotected
devices are used to emit electromagnetic radiation. Portablecommunications equipment
can interfere with the device.
− Cancer. Do not apply stimulation if you have progressive cancer or near any cancerous
tumour. The increased metabolism, caused by certain modes of stimulation, is likely to
encourage cancer cells to spread
− Muscle shortening. During the muscular contraction phase it is recommended to hold
the extremities of the stimulated limbs to avoid any shortening of the muscle during
contraction, which could cause cramps.
− Contralateral stimulation. Do not use two terminals connected to the same channel
on opposite segments of the body (for example, a positive terminal on the left arm and a
negative terminal on the right arm).
− Loss of sensation. Proceed with caution if stimulation is applied to areas of the skin
whose level of sensation is lower than normal. Do not apply stimulation to a person who
cannot express themselves.
− Battery leakage. If there is leak from a component, take steps to ensure the liquid does
not come into contact with skin or eyes. Should this occur, wash the aected area with
water and consult a doctor.
− Strangulation. Do not wind cables around the neck. Tangled cables can cause
strangulation.
− Post-surgery. Proceed with caution after recent surgery.
− Accessibility of the power adaptor. The plug socket must be close to the power adaptor
and be easily accessible.

REVOLUTION WIRELESS™
. SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning!
Equipment malfunction — these warnings refer to potential equipment mailfunctions that
could result in patient hazards
− Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance
of the unit. For this reason make sure that all external devices operated in the vicinity
of the unit comply with the relevant EMC requirements. ¬ Devices that intentionally
radiate electromagnetic energy, such as X-ray equipment, MRI devices, ¬radio systems
and cell phones are possible sources of interference, as well as RFID equipment (e.g.
electromagnetic security systems).
Keep the unit away from such equipment and verify its performance before use. For
additional information, refer to the EMC section of this Manual.
− Do not use the Revolution Wireless within 3 feet of short wave or microwave devices as
this could alter the currents generated by the stimulator. If you are in any doubt as to the
use of the stimulator in close proximity to another medical device, seek advice from the
manufacturer of the latter or from your doctor.
− Exercise caution when using electrotherapy while the patient is connected to monitoring
equipment with electrodes attached to the body. Stimulation could disrupt the signals
sent to the monitoring equipment.
− Refer repair and maintenance to authorized persons. Persons are authorized after
training by a specialist trained and commissioned by the manufacturer.
− Do not disassemble or modify the Revolution Wireless or its accessories. This may cause
damage, malfunction, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury.
− Inspect the Revolution Wireless and it’s accessories for damage and loose connections
at least once a year. Damaged and worn parts must be immediately replaced with

REVOLUTION WIRELESS™
. SAFETY INFORMATION
Caution!
Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions found in this
manual. Know the limitations and hazards associated with using electrical stimulation.
Observe any precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit.
Patient hazard — these cautions need to be observed to avoid the risk of electrical shock
or other negative eects to the patient.
− The device is designed to comply with electromagnetic safety standards. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radiofrequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with instructions, may cause harmful interference to other
devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. Harmful interference to other devices can be determined by
turning this equipment on and o. Try to correct the interference by using one or more
of the following:
− Reorient or relocate the receiving device
− Increase the separation between the equipment (refer to the EMC section in this
manual for recommended separation distances)
− Connect the equipment to an outlet on a dierent circuit.
− Consult your DJO dealer for assistance.
− Do not apply stimulation close to metal. Remove jewelry, piercings, belt buckles or any
other metallic product or device in the area of stimulation.
− Be careful if the patient has sensitivity problems or is not able to communicate that he
or she feels discomfort, however light.
− Never begin an initial stimulation session on a person who is standing. The first five
minutes of stimulation must always be performed on a person who is sitting or lying
down. In rare instances, people of a nervous disposition may experience a vasovagal
reaction. This is of psychological origin and is connected with a fear of the muscle
stimulation as well as surprise at seeing one of their muscles contract without having
intentionally contracted it themselves. A vasovagal reaction causes heart to slow
down and blood pressure to drop, which produces a feeling weakness and a tendency
towards fainting. If this does occur, all that is required is to stop the stimulation and for
the person to lie down with the legs raised until the feeling of weakness disappears (5
to 10 minutes)
− Never allow muscular contraction during a stimulation session to result in movement.
You should always stimulate isometrically; this means that the extremities of the
limb in which a muscle is being stimulated must be firmly fixed, so as to prevent any
movement that results from contraction.
EN
Page 18
REVOLUTION WIRELESS™
. SAFETY INFORMATION
− Do not disconnect any module that is switched on during the stimulation session. They
must be switched o first.
− Do not use the stimulator while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in
which involuntary muscle contractions may put the user at undue risk of injury. Do not
apply stimulation during sleep.
− Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 9,800 feet.
− Always turn o the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes during a
session, to avoid electrical shock to the patient.
− Do not try to place electrodes on a body part not directly visible without assistance.
− Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with the skin.
− For reasons of hygiene, each patient must have their own set of electrodes. Do not use
the same electrodes on dierent patients.
− Contaminated electrodes or gel can lead to infection.
− Use of electrodes with degraded hydrogel can result in burns to the skin.
− Size of electrodes. Do not use electrodes with an active area of less than 16 cm² due to
the risk of associated burning. Proceed systematically with caution when the density of
the current is over 2 mA/cm².
− Do not place the electrodes in water.
− Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
- Skin irritation. Some patients may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to
the electrical stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be
reduced by using an alternate conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
If redness of the skin is observed under the electrode, do not start another stimulation
session on the same area if the redness is still visible.
- Instructions for electrodes. See the usage and storage instructions displayed on the bag
of electrodes.

5.3 Electrode placement
The placement of the electrodes depends on the body area to be treated.
Please find detailed recommendations regarding the electrode placement within your Revolution Wireless
remote control.
There are 3 different types of electrodes provided with the Revolution Wireless:
• 5x5 cm small electrodes with 1 snap connection
• 5x10 cm large electrodes with 1 snaps connection
• 5x10 cm large electrodes with 2 snaps connection
Depending on the electrode placement chosen for a desired program, different types and sizes of
electrodes may be used. When using two modules, the 2 snap electrode can be utilized in place of two 1
snap electrodes, such that each module is connected to the 2 snap electrode. Refer to the image below
illustrating a large electrode with 2 snap connectors used to connect 2 modules.

Page 39
REVOLUTION WIRELESS™
. HOW TO PERFORM A TREATMENT, PERFORMANCE CHECK
Note
- Do not connect a module on a single large electrode with a 2 snap connectors as this will give no
stimulation to the body.
EN
The choice of electrode size (large or small) and the correct positioning of the electrodes on the muscle
group that needs to be stimulated are important considerations in order to achieve effective muscle
stimulation.
APPLICATION
• Electrodes do not stick well if any lotion, oil, make-up, dirt, etc., is left on skin. Wash treatment
areas with soap and water. Rinse thoroughy. Dry completely.
• Connect modules securely to the electrodes.
• When removing electrodes from liner or skin, lift one corner gently and pull. DO NOT pull by the
modules. Doing so may cause damage.
• Adhesion increases when electrodes reach skin temperature. To increase adhesion further, apply a
small amount of water and air dry a couple of seconds. If electrodes are extremely dry or to decrease
adhesion, use more water and let air dry for a couple of hours.
• Adjust remote control according to the instruction for treatment. Turn remote control off BEFORE
attempting to remove electrodes from skin.

5.5 Connecting the modules to the electrodes
Once the electrodes are stuck to the skin of the patient, fix the pods by sliding them onto the electrode
snap until it clicks into place.
Note
The insertion direction marked by:
- the On/O button on the main pod
- a small vertical line on the housing of the other pod.
To remove the modules from the electrode simply make the opposite movement.
Caution!
Equipment damage Pulling the pods without respecting their pulling direction can damage the attachment
system.
A stimulation module consists of two pods. The waveform used in Revolution Wireless is a symmetrical
biphasic waveform (VMS). The polarity of the pods will therefore alternate between positive and negative.
A separate electrode must be connected to each of the two pods.

5.6 Starting the treatment
Before starting the stimulation, the remote control asks you to turn on the modules, one after the other,
by pressing their button On/O.
For each module detected by the remote control, the device will prompt you to switch on another, up to a
maximum of 4 modules.
If you want to use a limited number of modules for your session, press the START button after the number
of modules you want has been detected.
After activating the modules, press START to start with the therapy:
• Stimulation always starts at intensity level 0.
• Select a channel to change the intensity by pressing the corresponding button.
• The channel will be marked dark blue.
• Use the navigation pad (up-down) to increase or decrease the stimulation energy intensity on selected
channels.
• None selected channels will remain on their set intensity level.
This feature allows you to change the intensity for each channel itself or more than 1 at the same time (by
marking the designated channels).
Note
- Be careful to respect the order of activation of the modules, the activation order corresponds to
the channel numbering.
- Colored modules process is described in the document to ease identification if need
- Press the central button on the Remote Control or the On/O button on one of the modules
during stimulation, the device pauses.

. HOW TO PERFORM A TREATMENT, PERFORMANCE CHECK
Stimulation intensity settings
Stimulation intensity depends on the treatment objective and patient tolerance. A habituation period may
be required to increase patient tolerance and permit the increase of the intensity to the desired level.
For Pain Management treatments intensity will usually be sensory. Depending on the chosen protocol,
the elicited sensation will either be mild-moderate sensory (“tingling”) or strong-noxious (“almost painful”).
For neuromuscular electrostimulation programs intensity will usually be motor. Depending on the
chosen protocol, the elicited response will either be mild-moderate motor (mild contraction, smooth
or twitch) or strong motor.

At the end of your stimulation session it is recommended to store the remote control and the
modules in the docking station to recharge the units.
5.8 Performance Check
If the unit can be operated as described above, the therapy unit has passed the performance check
successfully.
The device also runs performance checks regularly during operation.
This is what happens if a problem is identified (at start or during operation):
If there is a risk in usage or a malfunction identified:
• the device will ask you to correct it (see also Chapter “Problems and Solutions”)
• or automatically shut down immediately
In this situation, you may attempt to restart the unit by turning it briefly o and on again. With the unit
switched o, check that all plugs are correctly connected.

propagation is modified by absorption and reflection due to buildings, objects and persons.
The field intensity from fixed transmitters, such as radio telephone base stations (cellular/wireless)
and a mobile radio, amateur radios, AM and FM radio transmissions and TV transmissions cannot
be predicted with any accuracy. It may therefore be necessary to consider an analysis of the
electromagnetic environment of the site to calculate the electromagnetic environment coming from
fixed RF transmitters. If the field intensity measured in the environment where the Device is located
exceeds the appropriate RF observance level above, the Device should be monitored to ensure it is
operating properly. In the event of abnormal operation, new measures may then be imposed, such as
realignment or movement of the Device.
Above the frequency amplitude from 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field intensity must be < 3 V/m.
